- Children go round in a ring and one stands in the middle.
Round the green gravel,
The grass grows green
Many's the lady
Is fit to be seen,
Washed in milk
And dressed in silk
The last pops down.
Whoever is last stands in the ring. Children in two opposite rows.
Have you any bread or wine we are the rovers,
Have you any bread or wine for we are the gallant soldiers.
Answer
Yes, we have both bread and wine,
We are the rovers,
Yes we have both bread and wine
For we're the gallant soldiers.
Have you any jugs and glasses,
We are the rovers
Have you any jugs and glasses,
For we are the gallant soldiers.
